It should be impossible to win, with the king exposed like that.
But also... because you're down 8 pawns lol

totally unfair, but I'm sure Morphy would find a way to win. Only awsome tactics on one side and a ton of blunders from the other would allow the pawnless sde to win.
These discussion mention some similarly off-the-wall odds methods ...

I know most "odds games" involve removing a piece or the F-pawn.
But has anyone thought of playing an odds game where the handicapped player starts his position with no pawns at all? How would that work out?
